One large benefit to web-based applications it that they eliminate the need to worry about different software versions or file types as you email documents or move from PC to PC. Another bonus is that they easy accommodate collaboration by allowing multiple users to edit the same file (with the ability to switch back to earlier versions) and provide users the ability to easily save and convert documents to multiple file types (including HTML and PDF). And, you can even use many of these tools, such as Zoho Writer and Google Docs & Spreadsheets to author and publish posts to your blog. It’s this type of integration with other web 2.0 tools that makes web-based apps so appealing.
For this discovery exercise, you are asked to take a look at the web-based word processing tools Zoho Writer and/or Google Docs & Spreadsheets, create a simple document and then write about your discoveries in your blog. If you're up to the challenge, you might even export your document as an HTML file or publish it through the writer to your blog. With web-based applications, the possibilities are almost endless!
Discovery Resources:
Explore this short list of web-based productivity applications – Note: this list was authored in Zoho Writer and exported as an HTML web page.
Discovery Exercise:
1.Create a free account for yourself in Zoho Writer OR explore Google Docs & Spreadsheets, Google's online word processor (use your Google login from when you created your blog in Blogger)
2. Explore the features of one of the above tools and create a test document or two.
3. Look at Google's and Zoho's other office productivity tools, such as Google Calendar or Zoho Planner for organization, Zoho Show for presentations, or Google Docs & Spreadsheets or Zoho Sheet for spreadsheets (use the same Google or Zoho login)
4. Create a blog post about your discoveries.
Optional: If you're up for the challenge, try using Google or Zoho’s "publish" options to publish a document as a web page with a URL you can send to others or link to (look for a tab or link that says Publish when creating a document) OR try creating a document and posting it to your blog (you will have to "set" your blog settings in Google or Zoho first; it's all done under the Publish tab or link in Zoho or Google)
